After easily passing the House last month, the criminal FISA amendment bill breezed through the Senate yesterday, 69-30. Bush has just signed off on the bill this afternoon, and telecommunications companies now have free reign to spy on American citizens without warrant, justification, or probable cause. Even worse, they are pardoned for each and every past incidence of illegal tapping.

Naturally, the Neo-Cons are celebrating a first-class victory as they further enslave the public. But what about the so-called Left-Wing savior?
Well, Barack "Real Change" Obama voted in favor of this dagger in the heart of America. Now that he has the Democratic nomination, I guess he's free to run around openly acting like the New World Order piece of trash that he is. I'm sure dumbed-down liberals on college campuses everywhere will find some mindless way to justify his vote. The fact remains, though, he continues to prove he's little if any different than John McCain. McCain actually was the only Senator who did not vote. He was busy campaigning, and it was a foregone conclusion his vote wouldn't be needed. If and when the public wakes up to what this bill really means, look for the McCain camp to spin and say, "we didn't vote for it." In fact, not one single Republican voted "nay," so you can see what bandwagon Barack is hitched to.
Incidentally, Hillary Clinton voted against the bill.
Maybe Obama really does represent change. In so far as being a poster boy for the new America - where you have zero privacy and you're al-Qaeda until proven innocent.

A couple of years ago, I thought Obama had potential to be the 'change' that this country needed. Wow, how things can change in a couple of years.
Incidentally, Ralph Nader welcomes disillusioned Obama supporters!
